Hi Alex (hope I got the snipping & quoting right).

Based on your statement above, I'd like to know if the following is
feasible (and well, if it makes sense of course):

- A triple-boot system with WinXP, Ubuntu and, say, Fedora 5 ;

- One primary partition for windoze C: drive and one extended
partition to accomodate all the rest ;

- one [or more] VFAT logical partitions for data exchange among the 3
systems (I know, no data security at all here) ;

- one (maybe two ?) /boot logical partitions for the Linuxen ;

- a fair number of logical partitions, interspersed with some empty
chunks of space, to be used under LVM on Ubuntu and FC5.

Cheers

Thiers
